Its native ISO ranges from 80 to 3,200 and expands to 80 - 12,800 in boosted mode. The camera has a Fixed 3.0" screen with 461k dot resolution. It has an image stabilization.

Casio Exilim EX-ZR300 can capture video up to 1920 x 1080 resolution.

In this section we present pros and cons of Casio Exilim EX-ZR300.

Fixed screen

Casio Exilim EX-ZR300 has a 3.0" Fixed screen with 461k dot resolution which is quite low by today's standards.

BSI-CMOS Sensor

Casio Exilim EX-ZR300 features a 16 megapixel 1/2.3-inch BSI-CMOS sensor with dimensions of 6.17 x 4.55 mm and a total area of 28.1 mm². Its native ISO range is 80 - 3,200 and expands to 80 - 12,800 in boosted mode.

The camera has BSI-CMOS sensor, short for Backside Illuminated Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor sensor. In traditional CMOS sensors, the wiring and circuitry are located on the front side of the sensor, which can block some of the incoming light. BSI technology flips this design by placing the photosensitive elements (pixels) on the backside of the sensor, allowing more light to reach the pixels. This significantly enhances light sensitivity and improves low-light performance. BSI-CMOS sensors are particularly effective in low-light conditions, as they can capture more light, resulting in brighter and less noisy images. This makes them well-suited for indoor and night photography. BSI-CMOS sensors deliver a higher SNR and reduced cross-talk.

Camera is equipped with Exilim Engine HS processor and can take pictures up to 4608 x 3456 resolution. It can also take pictures with lower resolutions like 4608 x 3072, 4608 x 2592, 3648 x 2736 x 2560 x 1920, 2048 x 1536, 640 x 480 with 4:3, 3:2, 16:9 aspect ratios.
